Also (kinda a newbie question) would going to 4.1's lower your top speeddramatically compared to stock (not in a drag racing sense but just top speed period)?

absolutely.......going from a 2.73 - 4.10 will raise your rpm's at any given speed by about 1000 rpms
so i would say top end would drop from about 140-120
here is a link for D & D and there t56 6-speeds...there is some useful info on there for you

RE: Gears
I run 3.73s with a 26" tire on my GT. I don't pay attention to what rpm it runs on the highway. I generally do well over 70mph anyway. I also currently have 3.73s with a 28" tire on my LX but I'm about to switch to a 3.55 because I'm out of rpm at the traps. It's not a 5 speed.
